This is my song for my nieces and my nephews... i know that they know that I love them, but they don't know how much. They didn't come from me, i am not their biological mother, but a child doesn't have to be your own flesh and blood for you to give them your all... you can love them just as much as their parents does, or maybe even more.... I will always love them, unconditionally.....


If I could
(Barbara Streisand)

If I Could
I'd protect you from the sadness in your eyes
give you courage in a world of compromise
yes I would

If I could
I would teach you all the things I've never learned
and I'd help you cross the bridges that I've burned
yes I would

if I could
I would try to shield your innocence from time
but the part of life I gave you isn't mine
I've watched you grow
so I could let you go

if I could
I would help you make it through the hungry years
but I know that I can never cry your tears
but I would

if I could
if I live in a time and place where you don't want to be
you don't have to walk along this road with me
my yesterday won't have to be your way
if I knew
how I'd try to change the world I brought you to
and there isn't very much that I can do
but I would
if I could

if I could
I would try to shield your innocence from time
but that part of life I gave you isn't mine
I watched you grow so I could let you go
if, if I could
I would help you make it through those hungry years
but I know that I can never cry your tears
but I would
if I could
yes I would
yes I would
if I could
